Develop and communicate a clear technical vision aligned with business goals, identifying emerging trends, technologies, and opportunities to enhance our technical capabilities
Mentor and inspire technical teams, promoting a growth mindset and continuous learning, setting technical standards, guidelines, and best practices across projects which drive innovation
Collaborate with Technical leadership from across the business, including the GTC Practice Leads and Global Technical Networks (GTNs) to develop, implement, and embed technical best practice into BAU delivery, liaising with regional capabilities to highlight opportunities to use novel technologies
Scope the technical solutions for our complex and/or high-risk projects, drawing on your industry experience to take strategic decisions that allow re-use, optimize delivery efficiency and comply to internal and external standards (e.g. security, data residency, preferred suppliers etc.).
Proactively monitor and appropriately manage technical delivery risks, with a focus on protecting the GTC reputation with the wider business and our clients, solving and learning from issues as they arise
Streamline interfaces with other Practice areas, both within the GTC and more broadly, to enable high value integrated propositions, identifying complementary expertise and aligning ways of working to reduce barriers

Person profile

Have a track record in setting and implementing strategy for a high performing service
Relish nurturing, developing and motivating teams to deliver excellence and realize growth
Care passionately about delighting clients through a collaborative style and quality delivery
Give behavior and culture at least as much emphasis as technical skills development
Think innovatively and creatively about the best way to solve clients problems
Be commercially astute, leveraging internal resource, intellectual property and supply chain
Communicate complex technical subjects clearly and concisely with a focus on benefits
Keep abreast of the latest technical developments, and be able to integrate these into our delivery

Role Requirements

You will be able to demonstrate the following experience, skills, and qualifications:

Essential

Bachelor s degree in computer science or other relevant field (practical experience in lieu will be considered)
Extensive experience in overseeing the design and development of large applications, including application development processes and quality control while coordinating multiple programmers

Experience of overseeing complex architectures from first principles to service operation, preferably with experience in a Design Authority or Architecture Board environment
Experience leading, developing, and providing oversight to large (150+ FTE) development teams and/or technical communities
Demonstrable experience operating using excellent interpersonal, technical writing and communications skills with ability to communicate complex problems to both technical and non-technical audiences

Highly Desirable

An understanding of how Agile technical governance works within wider, often waterfall, corporate governance frameworks and experience navigating the friction this can cause
Experience conducting quality assurance audits and checks, such as TickIt Plus, and leading the development of rectification / improvement plans to address gaps
An advanced practical understanding of the Microsoft Azure tech stack, preferably with relevant Microsoft certifications
Experience operating in a client-facing role, preferably with business/solution development responsibilities, including proposal writing, cost build up and value proposition development
